Computer Advice

Alright, heres the situation. I am looking for nice little computer that will alow me to stock up on alot of games, have a good size in memory, and looks cool and between $300-$450. What type should I get?

Comment

$400 won't get you far for a gaming computer. You'll need around double that to get anything decent unless you're reusing parts from the old one. Take a look at the thread Memory posted. He's in a similar situation as you.

- It's who you game with.

Well I think I could put some extra money into it. I am not broke like memory (no offense), I can put some $200 more into my investment from my dad or something and look into a Alien Software computer.

If it is stupid but works, then it is not stupid.

So true and very sad for me. I wish I could be a teen with financial support forever. O'well, until then, I will enjoy my High School years. I think If Alien Ware is to expensive, I will look at whatever yall say to look at.

This is Legions big bro. I am the computer expert in the family I guess. Our old PC was an HP Pavilion Model CRAP. I hated its guts and I hope it lies in PC hell. I was looking at just getting a relatively old computer (NOT HP, more like Gateway or something). Currently we have no computer of our own. Sad I know. I was gonna update the video card and the 3dAccelerator. More later.

build it yourself and make up the name brand.... save yourself years of hating ANOTHER company.

I have here a Compaq s6300nx with a AMD athlon 2800+ it came with 512MB ram and added another 512MB. I got a decent gaming system for about $700. all I did was add my GF4ti4200 to it and now I'm doing fine.

Circuit city has some good deals for us budget minded people. but hey, that's just me.

Don't be a fool and die for your country. Let the other sonofabitch die for his.
